Jack London's novel "Martin Eden" not only inspired Pietro Marcello's Italian film of the same name with Luca Marinelli, but is also the template for this interesting television film from the Czech Republic.
After twenty years in the Foreign Legion, Martin (very impressive: Milan Ondrik) returns to his hometown of Brno. It's difficult for him to get there, but he finds balance in illegal cage fights. Although he finds a new love, he has to face the changes of life and a dark guilt from his past...
Along the way, director Jan Hrebejk and screenwriter Marek Epstein succeed in dissecting Czech society, which could also represent many other countries in Europe.
Worth seeing for a television film and well done!
